“The things that bring you joy…” She sighs. “You’re so fucking weird, Demi.”
I spend a couple more hours with Corinne, then walk the short distance into the heart of town. TJ meets me at the sushi place, which ends up being phenomenal, so naturally I text my boyfriend all about it on the Uber ride back to campus, because good food gets me excited and when I’m excited I must share it with Nico.
NICO: I think u devalue the currency of the orgasm whenever u call a meal “orgasmic.”
ME: Well, I think you underappreciate good food. And that’s practically a crime b/c you’re Cuban and food is in your blood.
HIM: Nah.
ME: I’m telling your mom you said that.
HIM: Don’t u dare.
ME: I’m hitting the gym soon. Be home around 9. Wanna come by after you’re done with the boys?
HIM: Prolly not, bb. Think we’re gonna go back to Steve’s and have a Fortnite marathon.
I’m only a smidge disappointed. We didn’t have plans, so I can’t fault him for wanting to continue hanging out with his friends, the people he originally had plans with.
ME: OK. Have fun! Love you.
NICO: Love u too bb
